Her father was a physician, who had his practice in the spacious house of the family near the center of Cologne.

Memories of Easter celebrations. Salon of her aunt Emma, who had famous guests such as the conductor Wilhelm Furtwaengler and the pianist Edwin Fischer. The family valued cultural activities highly, and the children were introduced to operas at an early age. Each of the children had piano lessons. Hilda was sent to a private school. She grew up never exposed to politics and did not know of her Jewish origin until the second year of school. Summer vacations in the mountains and at her cousins in Den Hague. Recollections of World War One and its aftermath. Hilda was enrolled in the newly established Girl's Gymnasium in Cologne. After graduation, during the peak of inflation times, she was assigned for a homemaking school in Rothenburg, where she was confronted with antisemitism for the first time. Skiing trips in the mountains. Hilda had a passion for theatre from an early age on. Her father especially opposed the idea, as he feared the vicissitudes of the profession. Fencing lessons at the club of university students. Private instructions from an assistant of Max Reinhardt. Engagement at the Salzburg Reinhardt Festival in "Jedermann" ["Everyman"], where she was among famous actors such as Alexander Moissi. Apprenticeship at the Bavarian State Theater in Munich.

    Abstract: Rise of national socialism. Dismissal of the Jewish theater director and growing awareness of the political threat in Germany. Rejection of further engagements. Affidavit from her brother in New York, who had recognized the danger of National Socialism in time. Emigration to the United States in 1933, where Hilda Albers-Frank worked as a piano teacher and music therapist after a brief career in acting.

    Abstract: The memoir consists of a bound typescript, enriched with photocopies of photographs, documents, and letters.
    Abstract: The elaborate and thoughtful text contains many personal memories that exceed mere family life. Eric C. Fisher writes about Viennese neighborhoods, life in school, and religious differences between "assimilated" and "orthodox" Jews. Generally, it provides an account of Viennese cultural life between the wars. Fisher writes about his time with a Zionist youth organization; as well as family summer vacations in Croatia and Italy. He recalls the events of March 1938, and the beginning persecution of Jews in Austria. In spring 1939, he was incarcerated by the SS; he and other younger boys were released, but men (among them his father) were taken away. Later the family got transit visas to England, were he lived as a refugee and was interned as an enemy alien. Fisher describes in detail his transfer to Canadian camps and ends with his release in 1942, and the beginning of a new life in Montreal, Canada.

    Abstract: The memoirs were written in 1975 in the United States. Description of the author’s family background. His father Jacob Bock was a schoolteacher, who later in life became principal of a School of Business in Wiener Neustadt. His parents converted to Catholicism shortly after they got married. Childhood memories and recollections of summer vacations in Attersee, near Salzburg. Recollection of his extended family. Scarce contact with his paternal grandmother, who did not approve of her son’s conversion. Rudolf grew up in a family, where religion was hardly mentioned. His father was an outspoken Socialist. First awareness of his Jewish background at age 16. Rising antisemitism in Austria, which also influenced the atmosphere at his school. Student exchange to France in 1931. After graduation he started medical school at the Vienna University in 1933. Description of cultural life in Vienna. The author describes the atmosphere among his family and friends, who, like him, underestimated the dangers of Nazism. Anschluss to Nazi Germany in March of 1938. Life under National socialism and help from Aryan friends to continue his studies. Recollections of the November Pogrom (Kristallnacht) in 1938. Rudolf was not permitted to take his final medical exams and started preparations for his emigration. In 1939 he joined his brother Kurt in Zagreb, where they found support in the local Jewish community. Plan to emigrate to Japan, where their uncle worked as an engineer. Journey to China and Japan. Admission to Peking Union Medical College (PUMUC) founded by the Rockerfeller Foundation, where Rudolf was able to finish his medical training. Description of life in Peking. He graduated in 1941 and specialized in ophthalmology. In the meantime his mother and grandparents arrived in Japan and lived with his brother Kurt. His sister went to England with a children’s transport. His father, who was unfit for travel at that time, died in Vienna in 1941.
